“Tess’s story is compelling. Her medical visits, uncertainty, and eventual epilepsy diagnosis offer a realistic look at this hidden condition that is both enigmatic and common. The added fact that one in 26 people have epilepsy should make this a must-have for school and public libraries.”—School Library Journal

But even more, Breathing Underwater is an unflinching look at the courage it takes to forge new paths when everything’s stripped away—and, ultimately, discovering what matters most. I loved it.”—Jared Reck, author of A Short History of the Girl Next Door and Donuts and Other Proclamations of Love
